  • I’ve been toying with this idea at well. I don’t think it’s a good idea to scrape all content. This could drown out the lemmy-original content, especially when large subreddits are concerned. Maybe an upvote threshold (Only scrape if more than X upvotes) would be a good idea.

    I would also scrape only the post itself, not the comments. Best to have our own organic discussions here.

    Finally it should be very clear that a bot is posting these things. Ideally the bot would also ensure it is not re-posting something that was already posted by a Lemmy users just a bit earlier.

    I’m a bit sad (mostly for the reasons you already described), but it’s also new and exiting. Interestingly, I’m having more fun here than I’ve had on Reddit in years. Not only was it cool to set up my own instance, I also notice I’m contributing far more then I ever did on Reddit. Maybe it’s because the communities are a bit smaller, so there’s a better chance of someone actually reading your comment.

    I would expect Lemmy to show up equally in the search results if there is enough relevant content. My tiny tiny instance is already showing up in search results, crawlers can definitely find stuff on here. It would be great if at some point we can append “lemmy” to search queries to get the good stuff like we could with Reddit.


  • “There’s a lot of noise with this one. Among the noisiest we’ve seen. Please know that our teams are on it, and like all blowups on Reddit, this one will pass as well,” the memo reads. “We absolutely must ship what we said we would. The only long term solution is improving our product, and in the short term we have a few upcoming critical mod tool launches we need to nail.”

    In other words, the blackout is not being taken that seriously. The culling of 3rd party apps is still happening. I hope more subreddits decide to go dark indefinitely, and that Redditors keep migrating to Lemmy.
